so i think i've posted here before about how i used to get manic highs, but that it hadn't happened in so long that pdoc thought maybe it was just a blip on the radar and has been treating me solely for depression lately (past 2years now).

anyway, i recently went off all meds (anti -depressants, -anxiety, -psychotics) and i am on a rollercoaster of a high. it is awesome up to the point where i get tired and get cranky. thankfully it hasn't been accompanied with delusional beliefs, so my feet are still firmly on the ground and nothing 'bad' has happened.

anyway - onto the question: pdoc convinced me to start lithium about a week ago. i've been on 500mg up until today, meant to start on 750mg tonight. the high only started about 4 days ago - do you think the lithium could have anything to do with it? shouldn't the lithium be working enough by now that the high just shouldn't be happening? it seems weird that i haven't had a high for maybe 3+ years now, and then the minute i start lithium one just blows up.

i know i sound ungrateful to be on one, but bloody hell, it's too much. too much saturation of experience and i just want to concentrate and not be distracted by bloody everything.
